In the drawings it will be seen that the box The end 29 is merely bent into somewhat of of my invention is of rectangular form hava hook, in order that it may engage with the ing a top wall 10, back wall, 11, bottom .wall` edge of the top wall of the box. Due to the 100 elongated slits,the sheet holders may be positioned as desired in order to hold sheets of different sizes. The holders do not interfere `with the use of the'T square as indicated in Fig. 1, nor with the closing of the drawer.
